"I am proud that Centennial has once again made the list as the safest city in Colorado. Thank you to our Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office for continuing to keep all of us safe," Mayor Cathy Noon stated in a release announcing the rankings. "I feel very fortunate to be a part of such a great community."

The safest city in the country was Colonie, New York.

The ratings were determined based on murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary and motor vehicle theft statistics. Cities had to have at least 75,000 residents to be considered.
